The past couple of days were super rainy and we were super bored. :) We decided to turn the gloomy day into some fun. A mini rain unit seemed appropriate! :)
We started with a little art project we called Raindrop Art! I had seen this idea
here on a cute little blog I follow called Little Page Turners. We changed it up a little by adding a different saying and we also used a cutout from the
link she had on her blog. I found a little boy body though and added in our little guys faces. They thought it was hilarious. So lots of little giggles while doing this fun project! :)
 |
| They started by adding food coloring drops on cardstock paper. |
 |
| The food coloring can get messy and the paper is heavy once spotted so I would suggest using a pan or cardboard underneath. |
 |
Then you stick it under the sprinkles and wait patiently. :) The colors began to mix and the boys were so excited. :)
|
We did a few worksheets that had to do with weather!
 |
| R is for Rain dot painting from 2teachingmommies. ( I think :/ ) |
 |
| Rain cloud pre writing practice. |
 |
And an umbrella and rain cloud number dot to dot.
|
The boys were very proud of their rainbow sand art they made.
 |
| Just look at those faces. |
 |
| Aren't they beautiful? :) |
 |
| Again...another tip...use a tray to collect the sand. You could also use a funnel. We just didn't have one so the tray worked out great for little hands learning to pour. Look at that sweet little hand. :) |
 |
Isaiah had a pattern going. He loved this and asked to do more. Good news is, I bought the sand and the little containers ALL for .50 cents at a garage sale over the summer. What a steal. And since then I have saved small containers that are clear just for these type of projects. :)
|
Next up...rain cloud experiment.
 |
| Saw this idea on pinterest, had the materials, so we got to work. :) |
 |
| Here they are waiting patiently for the rain to drop through the clouds. While we waited we talked about how the clouds get heavy then the rain drops through. |
 |
| And finally the "rain" started to drop down. We ran out of blue food coloring so orange rain it was. ;) |
 |
| We summed up our week with rainbow sherbet! |
